A MEDICINE, NOT A DRINK.
High Authority.

Hop Bitters is not. in any sense, an al
coholic beverage or liquor, and could not
be sold, for use, except to persons desir-
GUS of obtaining medicinal bitters.

Washington, d. c.. Sept. "a, 1884.
Dear Sir-Why don't you get certifi-
cate from Col. w. H. W., of Baltimore,
showing how he cured himselfof drunken
ness by the help of Hop Bitters. His is a
wonderful case. He is we'll known in Roch-
ester. N. Y, by all the drinking people
there. He is known in this city, Cincin-
natl, New Orleans, New York. in fact all
over the country, as he has spent thous-
ands of dollars for rum. honestly believe
his card would be worth thousands of dol
lars to you in this city and Baltimore alone,
and make thousands of sober men by in
ducing the use of your bitters. J. W.

Dairying Enriches the Land.

Those dairy farmers who carefully save
and utilize the manure, increase the fertility
of their farms. The farmer who sells
cream or butter, removes principally those
elements that are plentiful in the air and
soil. The skim milk contains nearly all
the nitrogen. phosphorus and potash of the
milk. If this is led, these elements are
preserved, and can in great part be re-
turned to the soil in the manure. The
only valuable fertilizers removed from a
dairy farm are those in the carcasses of
animals sold, the loss of which is not
equalled by that added through the annual
decomposition of the soil itself.-Prairie

meeting. Novel because large hall in
